Well, now that that tragedy's over (🇧🇷), i can go back to the tragedy that is my research rn

NY times covered our cut today (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2026/06/12/s...

She Used A.I. to Improve Forecasts for Extreme Weather

on my way to see my PhD advisor perform at Pride 🌈🏳️‍🌈❤️ she's literally the best advisor in the world 🙂‍↕️🤩🥹 (i wanna be her when i grow up-- they say that academics only know how to make mini versions of themselves lmao)

Good morning, good morning! Get up, get out of bed. Comb your hair and brush your teeth - democracy’s not dead! Go forth and do a small thing (or a big thing!) to build your community, try something new, or just take a moment for yourself. We’re all in this together. 💚

Currently hosting the Weather & Climate livestream to show Americans about the weather & climate research currently at risk of being defunded federally. Tune in to check out some cooool science talks!! 😃 @wclivestream.bsky.social

I'm signed up to host from 4-6 AM Mountain (6-8 AM Eastern) on June 2nd 🌟🔥💻🎥 Awesome talks by weather&climate scientists, aimed for the American public to learn about why federal research funding matters! Subscribe to the YouTube channel to get notified on the stream: www.youtube.com/@wclivestream

The Weather & Climate Livestream

From June 1st to June 3rd 2026, join meteorologists and climate scientists from across the US for a 50-hour livestream! We will share our science and show why America's forecasts are worth saving. [Ph...

🚨 The Weather and Climate Livestream is back, June 1st - 3rd 2026!! We're streaming 50 hours for our future in the face of a new round of proposed budget cuts and attacks on science. Want to speak at the event? wclivestream.com/volunteer/

Been trying to find the right words to describe how to feel about Juniper Blessing. Hearing she was studying meteorology and wanted to be a weather reporter broke me.

This photo always gets me. A little grungy, squinting in the sun, taking notes, and grinning because it's just cool to be out in a geologically interesting place. This is what my friends look like in the field. What I look like in the field. What we all look like in the field. Then, it was over.

“Vancouver, Vancouver, this is it!” Forty-six years after USGS volcanologist David A. Johnston sent his final transmission during the first moments of the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens, we remember all the lives lost and changed that day and honor his legacy of public service.

1st chilly 🥶 day of fieldwork for the biogeographic #befscale fucoid resilience project. Bit short on fucoids even in our control plots 😬 Electric Blue envloggers are a go for hourly 🌡️ data. Lodonnec tomorrow! Good luck @rubygeorge.bsky.social with your last batch of PhD data 📉 💪🏻

The cuts are back, but so are we! If you're a US-based scientist working on weather & climate, then we need YOU to help make this event a success! Please sign up to speak at wclivestream.com/volunteer , and share with your colleagues!

I started the novel Lessons in Chemistry but had to stop bc it hit a little too close to home for me. Also, it irks me that many books portray scientists as this genius with high achievements. Where are the scientists in books that are a bit messy, not weird caricatures of absolute obsession? 😫

Participants needed: this sociological study explores how people with Long COVID and ME/CFS utilize online chronic illness communities and content while navigating their journeys to diagnosis. Please share with anyone who might be interested! #chronicillness #mecfs #longcovid #chronicfatigue

Sometimes you make a new comic, and sometimes you redraw an old one because you lost the original high res file 😅

Freed from fellowship funding, i am happy i get tax refunds now instead of paying several thousand dollars in taxes every April

Taking heart with this reminder at my office this week. My favorite part is “give less of a shit” 😊 I get anxious about my advisor’s reactions to certain things (thanks to trauma from previous PhD advisor) and it helps me to remember how much of all this… doesn’t matter as much as I think it does 😌

Randomly got invited to a math retreat to do a talk?!!! Am VERY excited 😃

Present your research at the 2026 CNY Environmental Science & Studies Conference (March 27–28, SUNY ESF)! Student oral talks (10–12 min) & posters welcome. Free, interdisciplinary, and open regionally. Registration deadline is March 6! There are still lots of spots open for student talks!

Celebrated #PhycologyFriday in lab meeting with project updates & graphical abstracts. Proud #newPI here! 🌊 🧪

We already have over 40 signatures from US researchers and professors supporting NSF-NCAR and telling NSF to maintain control of the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputer with NCAR! Do sign and share.

docs.google.com/document/d/1... Hey folks, tried putting together a letter in direct response to the NSF unprompted decision. Feel free to offer suggestion or to add your name as a signatory, and thanks to those that did it alredy! Current text follows (errors all mine!)...

Very glad to be doing this with @350brooklyn.bsky.social and @bklynlibrary.bsky.social! Join us next Saturday afternoon, RSVP link follows --

Game night, but make it climate-positive. Save the date for ENERGETIC! Saturday, March 7 at 2 pm Central Library, Brooklyn Public Library

March 1 is the deadline to share your Long Covid story for our public awareness project. Submissions will be displayed at our Long Covid Awareness Day events on March 15th, to highlight the many different ways #LongCovid is heartbreaking. Submit your story here: covidsociety.ca/priorities/l...

As spring break approaches, I hear the sound of my former advisor’s voice saying, “Spring break is an undergrad holiday” (and also lamenting about how it didn’t used to be a holiday between Christmas and New Year’s).

The best things that came out of a geology class I took at Harvard were the 2 good friends I made and the dinosaur nuggets that one of them introduced me to

Vanessa Sun@vanessainstem.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Thanks to my geology friend for introducing me to dinosaur chicken nuggets. Now I only buy the dino ones, no other chicken nugget is worthy :)

Trump's Climate Supercomputer Plans Threaten US Insurance Market: Actuaries

A new letter from the American Academy of Actuaries draws a direct line between the planned dismantling of NCAR and higher homeowners insurance costs for US consumers.

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title… “How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work” Way to devalue my experience.

Wendy Bohon has built a TikTok following as an earthquake geologist. She helps lead earthquake work for the California Geological Survey.

AI is not inevitable. If we had sane people in government that were not in thrall to billionaire tech CEOs, LLMs could be regulated, forced to obey existing copyright laws, and banned from places where their use is inappropriate, such as college classes. This should be a moderate position.

Someone told me lately "Bluesky is just like Twitter." I argued that was untrue on the basis that last time I had a Twitter account most times I got a new follower their bio said "single & looking for fun" & here when I get a new follower it tends to say something like "professor of rare moths".

Last December, weather and climate scientists sat down with us to tell us why they loved the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and why it benefits us all. Last night, the NSF began dismantling it. Listen to what they have to say, and why it's urgent that we #SaveNCAR wclivestream.com/act

We ❤️ NCAR - Let's Save It!
